Italian guitarist Giacomo Fiore would like to invite you to follow one of the many threads running along the instrument’s recent history, and crossing over musical languages as well as cultures. The program will feature works by Britten, Brouwer, Davies, Harrison, Takemitsu and Villa-Lobos, all inspired by popular traditions across the world.
